The writer/director team of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck have shown with their previous films like Half Nelson and Sugar that they are capable of delivering well rounded movies that get every bit out the actors that perform in the film. For the most part, that’s what they give us again in their new film, It’s Kind of a Funny Story.

Movie Review: Up in the Air (2009)

Movie Review: The Hangover (2009)
The Hangover, directed by Todd Phillips, has a very simple premise: Four guys head to Las Vegas for a raunchy bachelor party as Doug (Justin Bartha) is about to get married in a couple days. You have Phil (Bradley Cooper), a married schoolteacher, Stu (Ed Helms), a dentist who has been dating a slightly paranoiac woman (Rachael Harris) for three years, and Alan (Zach Galifianakis), Doug’s socially awkward future brother-in-law. Trouble suddenly arise when Phil, Stu, and Alan wake up in the morning with no recollection whatsoever of what happened the night before.
